INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the first edition of the Equalizing-X-Distort monthly, our little radio
zine. This is our way of keeping in touch with the folks who support the show. In this first issue we
interview FUCKED UP, a new local group that played live on the show on October 7th. They are an
awesome band sounding a lot like mid-period BLACK FLAO with some AGNOSTIC FRONT influence.
In addition, there are some reviews and our Top 10. We would love to hear from you about scene news
so write in for submissions to our rumourmill section and we hope to add show listings to this mailer.
which is sad and pathetic, but I have only
been doing one radio show, so it worked out
okay I guess. It all balances out in the overall
scheme of things.
Josh, can you tell me about "On the
Banks of the Tumid River" ?
Josh: This was a zine that Mike and I did for
a while. The last issue took two years to put
out and then we only photocopied them and
we ripped off all our advertisers and we are
still in the process of returning all their
money. Until that happens the zine is on
hiatus, but it might come back under a new
name and a new focus in the coming summer.
Jonah, can you tell us about the bands
you are in ?
Jonah: It started a couple of years ago when I
became friends with Martin who does this
show and we started a band with Jesse called
BORED OF EDUCATION and went from
there. I just started joining everybody's band
and now I am in like 6 bands. I don't do much
else other than play in bands and pretend to
collect records.
How did FUCKED UP form ? What made
you all start a band with each other ?
Mike: Josh and I were talking about NO
JUSTICE and Josh said "That would be the
best, to be in a band like that." We thought
Josh would be the best singer so we were
going to form a band with Josh singing. It was
me, Josh and Chris (Colohon). Chris played
drums and then he flaked.
Damian: It is Chris Colohon of LEFT FOR
DEAD fame. Kind of like a celebrity. It's
kind of like saying you have Tom Selleck in
your band.
Mike: We played one or two shows with
Josh singing and then nobody really liked
Josh's voice, so we got
Damian to sing on the demo
and so then Josh went on a
trip and we went on a trip and
when we came back this was
the FUCKED UP line up.
This is going to be it until we
get sick of Damian singing and
then someone else will sing.
There is a phenomenon within the scene
whereby groups are forming with folks
who have played in other bands. I call it
the "Super-group" phenomenon because
it resembles the mid-80's where groups
like POWER STATION who featured
FUCKED UP are a band from Toronto
comprised of Mike Hatiechuk on guitar x-
RUINATION, Josh Zucker on guitar x-
YOUNGBLOOD, Jonah Falco on drums
from SCARE TACTIC, Sandy Miranda on
bass, and Damian Abrahms on vocals x-
PROMISE KEPT. These folks are very active
in the scene and do various zine, host radio
shows, and get involved in activist work, as
well as play in other bands. FUCKED UP
have just released a demo and will be
releasing an ep on Deranged in the new year.
FUCKED UP played at CIUT on Sunday
October 7 th and here is part of the interview
that was aired live on "Eqttalizing-X-
Distort".
Tell us about some of the other punk rock
activities you are involved with ?
Sandy: I did a zine for three and a half years
called "Second Last", but I actually haven't
done an issue in about two years just because
it takes so much energy to do, but I am
planning on a zine focused on people in
Toronto and having photographs of them and
writings about them. For the past year, I
have been doing a show at CKLN called
"Freaks, Nerds and Romantics". It is an
overnight slot every third Sunday.
Does the new zine have a name ?
Sandy: I was thinking about calling it
"People, Places and Things".
Mike: Me and Damian are both involved in
record collecting (laughter). We mostly just
buy records and at home we talk about our
record collections and sometimes we borrow
each other's CDs.
That's pretty unique Mike.
Damian enters the room from upstairs and
says "I am a part time poet".
Tell us about the radio show you do.
Damian: I have been doing a radio show for a
long time. Well I was actually on CIUT for a
long time. Now it's on the internet, I like to
think of it as a promotion, advancing with
modern technology, and "such is progress" in
the words of SNAPCASE. I have been in
bands a lot longer. I was actually counting the
other day. I was in 10 bands in high school,
DURANDURANand ROBERT PALMER.
As an example, these groups represent
this phenomenon, which we have seen
replicated in the hardcore scene in
groups like THE OATH, LIMP WRIST
and RAMBO. FUCKED UP seem to
represent something like that on a local
scale because you are all fairly active in
the scene and have been in a lot of bands.
What are some of the things that you
attribute to folks in bands starting new
bands with other folks in bands ?
Damian: Well Stephe, I think this is where
we have a problem because I think your
definition of super group is lacking when
you consider members of SNI, WHERE IT
ENDS, PROMISE KEPT,
YOUNGBLOOD, and BSE coming together
and forming a band. I hardly consider it
"super". I kind of consider it a group of
failures admitting defeat.
Mike: We kind of call it the "transformer
syndrome" where you get ten shitty
transformers and they are all really small and
then you put the ten transformers together
and they form this awesome transformer. We
were trying to be a super group, which is
why we had Chris in the band in the
beginning.
There is something whereby folks know
each other from bands and they know
how each other can play that facilitates
this phenomenon.
Mike: There is a small pool of musicians to
take from and not many people play
instruments so you gotta take what you can
get,
Jonah: You take four people that have similar
music tastes. Everybody in our band likes
hardcore AND we all like the same kind of
hardcore.
Damian; I also think that everyone gets into
punk rock and they all have their group of
friends. A year later kids get disinterested
and try out other scenes and what you are
eventually left with is the
whittling off. You look around
and go "Man, there is only a
couple of us left. Let's form a
band." It's either this or
nothing.
Can you tell us about your
demo. Where did you record
it ? How did you go about
putting it together ?
Damian: We recorded it in Jesse's {drummer
for SCARE TACTIC) basement. Jesse was
kind enough to let us use his basement.
Martin was kind enough to serve as our
Steve Albini for our NIRVANA. We just
recorded and... I didn't have the lyrics for a
lot of the songs and I also get really excited
when I sing and I forget what I was thinking
and it was like "Dammit, what was that next
verse", so I leave big spaces, but the demo
turned out okay.
Did you dub copies ? I have seen lots of
covers floating around for this ?
Jonah: When we were making the demoes I
was looking through this book I had on
"Samurai" movies. I was thinking of what to
put on the cover and there were some cool
pictures like i) this guy getting shot with 14
arrows and ii) three old men giving cheers.
Then Mike sent me this picture of iii) this
guy from the Great Depression holding up a
sign, so those were the three covers. I just
couldn't decide on one.
Damian: I think we were making fun of tour
test press of a test press of a tour press
exclusivity. Every single demo has a different
cover. For anyone who wants to trade mine
has Dez Cadena on the cover. I am willing to
trade it for the NEGATIVE APPROACH
single, first press only (laughter) and the
ONE BLOOD LP. It is kind of ridiculous
where people are putting out 9 collectible
record covers. If you add up all these
collectible covers there is 4,000 of this record
out there.
What do you hope to accomplish as a
band?
Mike: We discussed early on that we were
never going to tour. I don't like touring. We
just wanted to make cool songs and put a
record out and be like other bands.
Jonah: For me the goal of this band was met
right away when we played a show because I
have been in other bands where we didn't
play out, Just being on the radio show or as
part of this show's demo feature was
incredibly exciting. And then it started
happening for the other bands I was in.
Damian: One of our goals is to just be in a
band because for the first time there is a
vibrant scene in Toronto for as far as
hardcore goes that doesn't center around an
x-member - well I suppose that is not true -
as many x-member or as many x-Chris
Colohon x-member bands. So you have NO
WARNING, HAYMAKER, OUR WAR,
ADVERSARY, CAREER SUICIDE, and
SCARE TACTICS. There are a lot of really
good demoes and you have a lot of good
bands around so it is just a really exciting
time to play in a band. This must have been
what it was like at the 9:30 Club (laughter).
Jonah: Well Mike wore a VOID shirt once so
it is almost the same.
Can you tell us about the lyrical topics
that you sing about ?
Mike: like being depressed, being fucked up,
life in the city, robbing banks, shit like that.
Josh: It's about life being fucked up and what
you can do about it without driving yourself
insane.
Damian: When I joined the band I had just
broken up with my girlfriend at the time, so
every single song I wrote was about how
much I hated her. It's kind of scary when you
look around and everyone is as scared and
insecure as you, to quote PROPAGHANDI.
We are all from really different backgrounds
and we are all sad.
What is your favourite song from a lyrical
standpoint and why ?
Damian: It is the slowest song we have where
there is a debate over what the lyrics should
be. I think the song should be about being the
last one standing from a survivalist
standpoint and Mike thinks it should be a
poem. It's like about everyday how you see
something horrible and you wonder why
people don't do anything to stop it. If I was
in their shoes I would do whatever it took to
survive.
Mike: Mine is "Circling the Drain" which is a
theme that developed out of the summer I
had. 1 just had the worst summer ever and
whatever could go wrong did go wrong and
things just kept on snowballing and getting
worse. The song is a testament to how things
are for people's everyday lives.
Jonah; I don't know any of the lyrics but
from a musical standpoint my favourite song
is "Bag of Dirt".
Sandy: Musically, I like "The Land of Nod".
I like the hook of it and I like the line "Get on
your knees cop" It sounds pretty powerful.
Josh: I like the "Achilles List" which is about
de-working your job and making your job
actually pay what you deserve to get.
Stealing from your employer.

reviews
Ahiro "One People, One Mind, Fight Fight Fight"
ep
Fastcore combined with pop punk, that's a new
one. It's kind of like hearing a distorted version of
FUCK ON THE BEACH doing a duet with HI
STANDARD. The added dimension that AHIRO
brings to the table is some slow almost breakdown
parts that add emphasis and almost contemplative
moments within the song. It adds a dimension to
their thrash, My only complaint is that the recording overmodulates too
much, even for my peanut gallery tastes, but that shouldn't prevent you
from getting in on AHIRO.

as one
&
As One demo
AS ONE have graduated out of (he Warzone sound
and started incorporating more new school sounds
like NO JUSTICE and SHARK ATTACK. AS ONE
have added thrash to their sound. The vocals sound a
bit more like something from a Hydra Head band, but
something more unique, An awesome new local release
that is raw and angry and incredible. The SONS OF
ISHMAEL cover is funny, too. By way of post script,
the band has changed their name to SCARE TACTIC
and this demo will be the first release on a new local
label called Solomon Method,
(e-mail: upvourasswithallvourgossipffllhotmail.com)
Class Assassins "No Justice No Peace" ep
Solid street punk with pub like choruses featuring
ex-members of DIRECT ACTION, CHRONIC
SUBMISSION, and HOCKEY TEETH, They give
us one original and a cover of "One Tin Soldier".
The original has that ringing rock sound. The leads
sound like something out of "90210", but the call-
to-arms message is righteous and the soccer-like-
chants save this as a punk release. The cover is an
excellent choice with the message about greed, but it seems a little bit done
as DIRECT ACTION had covered this song back in the 80's. Given that
one of the members of the CLASS ASSASSINS was in that band, this choice
of cover cheats us in the innovation dept. A punk version of "One Tin
Soldier" has been done before and by you no less. But having said this, I
should note that I do like the CLASS ASSASSINS version with the beefed up
back up vocals. It would have been much cooler to have given us something
by DIRECT ACTION or CHRONIC SUBMISSION.
(Insurgence Records / 2 Bloor Street West, Suite 100-184 / Toronto, ON /
M4W 3E2 / Canada)
Colt Seavers ep
Garage-core with an emphasis on brevity. Similar
to TEEN CRUD COMBO with that balls out rock
feeling and yet similar to BORIS THE SPRINKLER
with the poppy goofy material, The recording is
loud and overmodulates but in a lo fi kind of way
that makes it seem like the singer is singing through
a bullhorn, 13 songs on a 7" has this competing
with the current crop of fastcore bands, but COLT
SEAVERS is for the wild childs of the scene.
(Kindspeech Records / Lindenstr. 32 / 49593 Bersenbruck / Germany / e>
mail: kindspeech@freenet.de)
Da Bloody Gashes "Pedal to the Metal" LP
Sludgy rock in the vein of the early OG scene with
emphasis on trashy minimal style rock 'n roll.
The vocals are more distorted sounding and gives
the air that these folks probably play way loud in a
live setting. With a full band and some recycled
BLACK SABBATH riffs these guys sound like a
more accoustic version of the Scandi-rok scene.
(Total Zero / P.O. Box 32046 / 901 Ste. Catherine
E. / Montreal, QC / H2L 2E0 / Canada)
IfLTSUHilf*
Epileptic Terror Attack LP
Another great recording of FU's influenced
hardcore from this Swedish outfit. They have added
the bassist from DS-13 and sound even more frantic.
Fans of early Boston hardcore pay attention, 14
blazing tracks about skating hard and being
wreckless. It also includes a cover of "Beverley
Hills" by the CIRCLE JERKS.
(Deranged Records / P.O. Box 543, Station P / Toronto, ON / M5S 2T1 /
Canada )
Fuck on the Beach "Endless Summer" LP
Surfs up with the new FOTB. Sounding more heavy
and plodding for fastcore everything from the wind
up parts to the full on blast beats sound a shade
slower. But generally it is a lot thicker and even
takes on elements of d-beat on songs like "Too Sad
to be Alone". Very DROP DEAD like in delivery
in terms of the speed and the vocal style.
(Slap-a-Ham / P.O. Box 420843 / San Francisco, CA / 94142-0843 / USA)

Guyana Punch Line "Irritainment" LP
This is the best recording I have heard from GPL.
The hardcore parts are very ferocious sounding
and a very cascading the way In/Humanity sounded.
The potshots at emo are hilarious with "Tears on
the Backpack" and "Are you Brian Emo?". They
develop dramatic tension in a way that is less drawn out, This is very tight
sounding for GPL and there are 21 new songs on this release. There are
some good samples. The "Songs to disturb the comfortable songs to comfort
the disturbed" piece on the back cover reads like NATION OF ULYSSES
"13 Point Program to Destroy America" mantra.
(Prank / P.O. Box 410892 / San Francisco, CA / 54141-0892 / USA)
I Quit! "That's It...." ep
Playing a hybrid of Thrash and grind, this record is
so fuckin' urgent sounding. Featuring one of the
members from MONSTER this tiling blazes, but
has less in the youth crew vein and more in the
speed and hardcore side of the equation. This shreds,
(Busted Heads Records /box 275 / 901 06 Umea /
Sweden)
Jellyroll Rockheads "Flowers for Nothing" ep
The second JRR release has a bigger production
sound (except "Worshit of Youth") while retaining
the energy of their manic skate thrash sound. This
is one of Japan's most crucial band's at the moment.
Two tracks ("I'm at My Wit's End" and "Fade
Out") have been re-recorded from their first demo
that came out before "Mild and Intense" and they
are my favourite so I am glad they saw the light of day, I do hope more of
that demo comes out, but I am still very happy to hear urgent, frantic and
authentic material. Makes you realize that every wave of hardcore has their
MINOR THREAT,
{Mangrove Records / 3F ACP Bldg / 4-23-5 Koenji-Minami / Suginami /
Tokyo 166-0003 / Japan)
Jilted "Follia Omicide" ep
On first listen, this record reminded me of
something that should have been on the legendary
"P.E.A.C.E." comp. The production sounds
somewhere along the lines of a lazier G.LS.M. or
VICIOUS CIRCLE meets a slower NEGAZIONE.
The recording is raw, fast and pissed as proclaimed,
but more along the lines of the latter day
Minneapolis scene as the "When Hell Freeze Over"
comp represents. The cover ofNEGATIVE APPROACH'S "Tied Down" is
a bonus,
(Angry Records / c/o Fulvio Dogliotti / C.P. 280 / 15100 Alessandria / Italy
/ e-mail: angry rec@ iol.it)
Minor Threat / Youth Brigade "Demos" LP
Holy Fuck. Where the hell did this come from? The firstMINOR THREAT
demo recorded in 1981, which sounds very much like the first eps with a
« £ >
rougher edges. But it's fuckin' cool to hear. And ' _i " ■■ (
then the YOUTH BRIGADE demo which contains
a whole bunch of unreleascd songs along with earlier
recordings of tracks like "Moral Majority". This
bootleg revisits that early DC scene and you get a
sense of the political dynamic behind YOUTH
BRIGADE and the more carefree fun element behind MINOR THREAT.
Try and get this as it I limited to 1000 copies,
(Recollect records / Austria)
Not! Demo
Bandana thrash from Buffalo featuring members
from THEY LIVE and PROJECT GRIZZLY. My
favourite song is "(Dance by the 'O') Live by the
'X'". It's got a youth crew sound which is somewhat
standard for bands from Buffalo, but they add
elements of skate thrash, The lyrics are punny.
Overall, it's an intelligent release from a humour
standpoint and a good one for bandana thrashers.
This is part of the Buffalo basement renaissance.
(Not! / 99 Custer Street / Buffalo, NY / 14214 /
USA / e-mail: xxthrashordiexx@aol.com)
Riot '99 "Destroy the City" ep
An awesome street punk band from Toronto
barkening back to the "Riot City" and "No Future"
days. RIOT '99 feature a recently transplanted
Drew from Australia's STANLEY KNIFE and Taras
from Edmonton's THE GLORY STOMPERS. But
Riot '99's sound is defined by the brother and sister
team of Howard and Nathalie - they encompass
much of the early song structures that made the CLASH legendary. Throw
in some army chants a la ABRASIVE WHEELS and group pub-like choruses
and you've got a modern day street punk group to contend with. My
favourite line is "Start a riot on Queen Street West, tonight." Putting the
Bollocks back into punk, indeed.
(Riot Records / c/o Taras O. / P.O. Box 462 / 34 Adelaide Street East /
Toronto, ON / M5C 2J5 / www,riot99,com)
Spazm 151 LP
Manic doom-core played at a thrash pace. Take
one part DISCHARGE and mix it with one part
TEAR IT UP, one part DOWN IN FLAMES and
one part POISON IDEA. I don't remember their
ep sounding this good.
(Mind Control Records / 1012 Brodie Street /
Austin, TX / 78704 / USA)
Strong Intention "What else can we do but fight
back" LP
STRONG INTENTION remind me of what
CITIZENS ARREST would sound like if they started
today. They have a little more power violence
edge to them while still retaining hooks and
breakdowns. And they try to reach the speeds of
DROP DEAD while sounding as pissed off as
INFEST. Their songs are chocked full of messages,
backed up by graphics tackling issues like middle
east peace, work, racism, consumption, and general
all-round resistance,
(Six Weeks / 225 Lincoln Ave., Cotati, CA / 94931 / USA)
Swarrrm "Against Again" CD
What a complex blend of various styles of hardcore,
largely relying on grind, but some of this is
particularly heavy and at other times there are
layered emo structures. There is also some pretense
to the burning spirits sound, but it is all part of the
mix, as opposed to the defining structure. The
SWARRRM sound like a speedier, more tortured
version of ENVY with loads of stop and starts.
The vocals never dip below a throaty gargled scream and creates a frantic
interplay with the guitar noodling. The SWARRRM represent the next
level of emo-violence as more of a hardcore band. It should also be noted
that this is the Japanese band, not the defunct band from Toronto.
(God Door Record / 7-1-7 Udezuka-cho / Nagata-ku / Kobe City / 653-0036
/ Japan / e-mail: kapo@dj8, sonet.ne.jp)
Zero Tolerance Task Force "Corporate Scum"
ep
Early sounding LA punk mixed with some of the
quirky elements of the Texas sound. If you took a
martini mixer and shook early BUTTHOLE
SURFERS into a shaker filled the ANGRY
SAMOANS and BLACK FLAG you would start to
comprehend ZERO TOLERANCE TASK FORCE.
Venomous, depressing, raw, with some great ranting a laFEEDERZ or the
CRUCIFUCKS. This record of lo fi garage thrash really grows on you,
(Bandwagon / P.O, Box 44338 / Tuscon, AZ / 85733 / USA)
rum our mill
The AS ONE demo (reviewed earlier) will be released as a 7" by a new
label from Pickering called Solomon Method. For fans of CHARLES
BRONSON meets SHARK ATTACK it is a must have. They have
changed their name to SCARE TACTIC. * The band FUCK JONAH
has metamorphisized into CAREER SUICIDE and have recorded an
early F.U.'s inspired masterpiece. I hope this demo gets released. *
RECENSION, the best power violence band in Canada, has called it a
day. Their split with SEARCHING FOR CHIN just came out. One of
their singers, Steve Mueller, is joining forces with the mighty
OXBAKER, from St. Thomas. *
OXBAKER have a split with
HAYMAKER that just came out on
Deep Six. OXBAKER are also
poised to release some material on
625 Productions, a perfect label for
them. * HAYMAKER have just
finished their recording for the LP
with the Pushead artwork. They will be working on a split LP with
DUMBSTRUCK (x-HERESY) as their next project. * Jeff from
HAYMAKER is playing guitar in a new band called OUR WAR.
They have a 7 song demo out and are to release a 10" on Deranged in
the new year. * The A.W.O.W. kids are now called NO WARNING.
They have a new ep out on Martyr Records, which has been re-
released as a CD along with their demo on Bridge Nine. *

Holland's POINT OF FEW coming
out. Jaime Towns has joined the
band on bass. They have recorded
new material which includes covers
of MINOR THREAT, SIEGE, and
NEGATIVE FX. Their first ep is
being re-issued by No Idea. Good
luck trying to find the "Seven Deadly Sins" boxset that just came out.
But I think you can find that "First Year" CD of all their stuff through
+/-. * Andy from RUINATION / BLOODPACT has started a new
band called CAR CRASH that is rumoured to sound like
MOTORHEAD meets G.I.S.M. * LEGION666 have a new split LP
with Brazil's SICK TERROR, which should be out in November.
LEGION666 are working on another split with a MEGIDDO, which
sees them doing a cover of SODOM's "Outbreak of Evil". * Pat Lazo
has left LEGION666 to start ADVERSARY with Joel Fisher from
SKEW-G and Ryan Kennedy from the TET OFFENSIVE. They have
elements of bandana thrash, d-beat leads, and new school sXe vocals.
They have a demo that just came out. * RIOT '99 have had a line up
change and have started playing out again. They have a new guitarist
and a new bassist and new songs. * The CLASS ASSASSINS have a
new ep out on Insurgence. They are in the studio for the month of
November recording a full length. With members of DIRECT
ACTION and CHRONIC SUBMISSION it's gonna be good. * Ugly
Pop just announced that they will be releasing a WARHEAD vinyl
release which will contain material of their CD from '93 and their ep
from '95. * The Hardcore Hotline has been resuscitated at (416) 535-
